Always Ultra Pads Normal Size 1 – 15 Pads

Size 1 in the Always Ultra range corresponds to Normal absorbency — the everyday protection level for lighter to moderate menstrual flow. The numerical sizing system runs alongside the descriptive names to make the right absorbency level easy to identify at a glance. Size 1 is the everyday starting point; Size 2 is the Long absorbency step up for heavier flow days.

Both products are Always Ultra Normal absorbency pads. The Size 1 designation confirms the Normal absorbency level within the sizing system. The primary known difference is the pack count — 15 pads versus 16 pads. Please confirm with your supplier whether these are genuinely distinct products or pack size variants of the same formula before publishing both listings simultaneously.

Step up to a Normal Plus or Long pad when the Size 1 Normal is consistently saturated before you are ready to change it — typically on the heavier mid-cycle days when flow is at its peak. For most people, Size 1 Normal covers the lighter and later days of the period comfortably; a higher absorbency is needed for the heavier middle days.

Every four to eight hours, or when saturated — whichever comes first. On lighter flow days, the full eight hours may be appropriate; on days when flow is slightly heavier, more frequent changes maintain comfort and hygiene. No pad should be worn for longer than eight hours.

Wrap in toilet tissue or the backing paper from a fresh pad and place in a bin. Never flush sanitary pads — they cause serious drain blockages and are not designed to break down in water.
